Will this drill through 1" thick mild steel using a 3/8" as a pilot hole at the low speed of 140 rpm? Will the belt slip or will motor stahl?

I am not exactly sure what size hole you want in the 1" plate. I can drill through 3/8" plate with a 1/2" drill at 540 rpm easily using Mobil one as a lubricant. So with a sharp drill and using coolant (cutting fluids work best here) 1" should be no problem. You have to keep the chips clear and pull the drill out often to do that. You may have to stop and resharpen your drill or change it out for a sharp one. And do not force the drill through the steel, let it cut at it's own pace. Be patient and it can be done with no belt slippage and no motor stall. You do not need the lowest speeds to do that IF everything is clamped well. Do not try to hold onto the steel with your hand as you can be hurt easily.

There is a switch on top of the drill, low and high. The low is 0-350 rpm, the high is 0-1500 rpm. There will be more torque on low switch, less torque on high speed. If you are siphoning water with a small hose, high speed will work good (half inch hose). The bigger the hose, high speed will not work. Remember, 1 gallon of water weights right at 8 lbs. Hope this info helps you.

I can only comment on what I can see. The treaded shaft which connects the machine to the core drill fits perfect. However, because of a large motor torque, it will be difficult at times to unthread the core divice. Again, I was disapointed to discover the lack of a slip clutch, which is not good. But... as they say, you get what you pay for. I hope that helps.

i have a Craftsman with 42 inch deck,this belt operates the blades,check the length of your drive belt-I'm sure you can get it on Amazon too,and my belt is the same quality that I was buying at Home Depot and mower shops-and on Amazon I only pay 1/3 the price.I've been highly satisfied with it.

yes, you should have no problem as long as the drill will take a smooth bit in it chuck

I don't think 1/2: thicknedss will leave enough threads for a solid tiightening.. Can you drill out enough material surroiunding the center hole to leave about 1/4" for the threads?

I use with a 3/8th inch drill. It does not fit perfectly. I think it would fit either one but has a square neck and I have to stop and tighten every now and then. I use it to mix clay and when it is working, it does a great job. Actually, don't think it fits either. I do like mine but wish it was a better fit.

I used mine to install an above ground hoist on 4 inch steel reinforced concrete floor. It drilled 10 5/8 inch holes with out a problem. I am not sure how much larger bit a 1/2 inch drill will hold but con considerably more.

The thicker bit is 5/8" for this drill. So that would not have any problem in using one of 1/8. With one adjustable chuck you will have severals options.

It's like a regular drill bit, will fit a 3/8 inch drill, but I wouldn't buy it unless you are drilling into loose soil. The shaft will strip and then just spin around in the drill.

I don't know, I will have to check the specifications. It it is on the tool I will respond again later.For drilling high RPM is ok, but I think you might want to drive screws a little slower, I will provide more later.Brad

It might. I saw that it might taje an 88" belt. This is a 96" belt., but it looks like the same deck. Maybe motor pulley is different size and/or closer to the deck. I would check the searsparts page.

I recommend a low RPM motor that has a 5/8 shaft with keyway. You can get 5/8 bore pulleys at a hardware store. You may have to order the pulley that goes on your mill since I could not find that size at the store. My system is configured with a 5" pulley on the motor and a 3" pulley at the mill with a 30" belt to get an RPM from 83 to 133. Your motor doesn't necessarily have to be that low of RPM but you do want to crush your mill any higher than 200RPM. I spoke to Todd Millar, the inventor of this product and he recommends no more than 200.

Yes, as long as he uses the proper bits for metal, and uses some type of lubricant (WD-40 or something similar) to keep the bit from over heating, it should do just fine. Don't expect it to bore through heavy steel plate, but the thin sheet metal and tubing used in motorcycle and automotive applications will be no problem for this drill.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

I'm actually concerned as to why specifically license plates. Especially given the small and therefore concealable nature of this drill. To answer the question- on high torque this sucker will drive a 3" wood screw. Just have to push harder than you would with a bigger drill.

You must first remove the 3/8 chuck, and then check the threads, If the threads are the same, it will work. However the power of the 3/8 drill motor is not sufficient to use the larger bits, only a few will work without straining the drill, causing it to overheat, and possibly damaging your drill.
